Dental Damn part deaux

Hey remember last year when I got the bad news of my mouth?  You guys. YOU GUYS.  I had no idea what I was in for. NONE.  I want to write this whole post in caps so you will understand how serious I am.  But I won't.

So in my last post about the dentist I was under the impression (punny) that I would be spending a good chunk of money ($2,800) to correct the damage that my little vitamin sucker did to my grill while I was growing her in my womb.  I had plans to have all of the things taken care of within a month of each other.  Then more life happened and of course, no one has any problem putting off a dentist appointment!  So I pushed it back and back and back until they called last week to tell me I had my cleaning.  And I told them we still need to fix this shit.  So they re-scheduled it.  For the 5th time.

After my cleaning I asked the girl if I had any new cavities.  She chuckled and said well I don't see any new ones per say, but unfortunately cavities don't get smaller... I started sweating thinking I was going to have to have a root canal (my ultimate fear).

Once the dentist finally came in to check out the damage he gave me the run down.  He told me I needed more crowns and I am "lucky" I don't need a root canal.  I told him to get a move on and lets do this shit.  Quickly, while I am still calm.  Before starting, front desk girl brought me a paper to sign, showing me the total of my tooth bill.  I shit my pants.  Right there in the dentist chair.  Right when I got handed a bill for $5,600.  FIVE THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS.  Guys, the $2,800 from last year was a quote for all of my teeth.  The left side of my mouth was supposed to cost $1,100.  I just cost myself fourty five HUNDRED dollars by putting my appointment off.

So I didn't really shit my pants.  I just cried a little then paid cause hello?  It's not like I can leave after the whole "cavities only get bigger" spill.  Then what?  Then I come back in a year and you all of the sudden have to pull all of my teeth then I suck and can't even eat food because I put it off again?  Ugh..

I was in that chair for 4 hours.  4 hours.  4 crowns and 3 fillings later.  I finally got to leave.

Here I am, 3 days later, a hell of a lot broke-r, and with a mouth half full of fake teeth.  My mouth is jacked. It hurts so bad.  Still.  9 shots of Novocaine will do that to ya.  9.  Yeah that was fun. Not.  Here is a little collage for your viewing pleasure.  Apparently I love me some instagram when high on NO2...

Moral here?  Don't miss your dentist appointment.  And have really good dental insurance...mine only covered $159.00. LAME.
